OPF Webinar: Digital Preservation at your Command

Link: 

The next OPF Webinar, Digital Preservation at your Command, by Carl Wilson, will take place on Thursday 8 November at 12 noon GMT / 13:00 CET.

OPF members are invited to attend live, participate in discussions and ask questions. The webinar will also be recorded and released at a later date.

Overview 

This webinar will demonstrate the use of linux command line tools to create quick manifests of digital material. Similar results can be achieved on Windows machines with Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) installed.

Tools to be demonstrated:
* find – to locate content and recurse directory structures.
* md5sum / sha256sum – to create checksums of content.
* the file utility – to identify digital content formats.
* grep, sort, & cut – to summarise results into a basic manifest / profile (and perhaps a little sed)…

Who should attend?
Practitioners with basic IT skills looking to get some hands on experience of using command line tools perform some basic digital preservation tasks.

Developers who are new to Digital Preservation, or inexperienced with the use of linux command line tools.
